I still like Cruz. I'm interested to know what is next for him. But Cruz isn't on the ballot, Trump and Hillary are.
In any case, Trump was always my second choice until Cruz left the race, upon which time he became my first choice.
And only choice.
But this isn't a "lesser of evil" choice; Trump has grown on me from the start. I didn't like his ad hominems against people I liked, but I like his focus on national sovereignty and economics. On those issues he is like granite. And even the areas where he is historically a squish, he has tightened his focus in the face of all opposition.
He will make a good president. And his mere presence in the race has forced all of the GOP Quislings out into the open. Most of them, we already know who they are, there are few surprises. The press keeps beating the drum that GOP is imploding, and then I look at the names, and I see all the usual suspects.

One of the greatest disappointments of my life has been to discover that Cruz had a closet full of women in his wake. If he could not be honest about himself how can he be trusted to be honest about anything?
